Nancy, have you considered checking with Willamette National Cemetery
to see what information they have in their files. Since Paulina died
first, hopefully Earnest would have known information to provide for the
death certificate. But I assume since she was buried in the military
cemetery before he was, he would have needed to provide proof of their
marriage to have her buried there. Oops! I just noticed she was a
different rank than his so apparently she must have been buried based on
her own service.
Another possibility would be to order a copy of her Social Security
application. On that form she would have needed to list her maiden name
and her parents names. Te cost is still $27.00 but you would probably
get most of the info you need.The application form (SS-5) contains the
following information:
* Full name
* Full name at birth (including maiden name)
* Present mailing address
* Age at last birthday
* Date of birth
* Place of birth (City, county, state)
* Father's full name "regardless of whether living or dead"
* Mother's full name, including maiden name, "regardless of whether
living or dead"
* Sex and race
* Ever applied for SS number/Railroad Retirement before? Yes/No
* Current employer's name and address
* Date signed
* Applicant's signature
